Samantha reflects on one year battle with Myositis

Renowned actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu marked a significant milestone on Thursday as she commemorated one year since her diagnosis with the autoimmune condition, Myositis. Taking to Instagram, Samantha shared a heartfelt note detailing her struggles and journey over the past year. Currently in Serbia filming for the upcoming web series Citadel with acclaimed filmmakers Raj and DK, Samantha visited the Church of Saint Sava to reflect on her experiences.

In her emotional post, Samantha opened up about seeking medical help for her health condition and the challenges she faced professionally following the setback of Shaakuntalam. She expressed gratitude for the strength and peace she has discovered through prayer. Samantha wrote, “It’s been one year since the diagnosis—a year of embracing a new normal. My body has been through battles... restricted diets, medications, and moments of shutdown and restart. It’s been a year of self-reflection, seeking meaning, and learning from professional setbacks. Amidst it all, I pray for strength and peace.”

Acknowledging that many others are fighting even more challenging battles, Samantha extended her prayers to them as well. She believes that although the journey may be delayed, peace, love, joy, and strength are never denied to those who earnestly seek them. These are the true treasures worth pursuing.

Samantha’s heartfelt post received an outpouring of love and support from her fans and friends. Athiya Shetty, Sophie Choudry, and Raashii Khanna were among those who showered her with affection through loving emojis in the comment section.

Last year, Samantha took a hiatus from work after being diagnosed with the rare autoimmune disease while filming her Telugu movie Kushi. However, she courageously resumed her professional commitments, showcasing resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

Samantha’s journey serves as an inspiration to many, as she navigates her battle with Myositis with grace, optimism, and an unwavering spirit.
